Had crazy incident occur while buying rust free car. Replacing front wall and one headlight bucket as result(its a story for "another " time) with NOS parts.....yes Porsche porn.
So I will be removing front wall and drivers side headlight bucket by drilling out spot welds to prepare the scene Got really special drill bit that will endure all the drilling....but surely there are some tricks to finding all the factory spot welds and dealing with removing seam sealer. Anyone with experience in this area could be of great help as I am sure patience with knowledge will really make this a much easier project......HAve body guy to do reinstall so it is not "hacked" . Any words of wisdom from the World? Thanks and Merry Christmas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Terry P.S. Had to switch to laptop from Ipad to get this posted...per other post |

Seriously, HF heat guns are great at $10-$15 a piece, then a good hooked paint scraper. You can use one of the metal flay wheels on a drill to ease the process but you still need to work some heat in 1st. Merry Xmas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) |
